Unrelenting fires in Los Angeles… forcing thousands to evacuate homes

A new wildfire has broken out north of Los Angeles, forcing thousands of residents to evacuate their homes in an area that has recently seen other devastating fires.
The fire spread quickly near Lake Castaic, burning 1,400 hectares in less than two hours, and strong, hot, dry winds helped fan it.
